Crumpled is a heartfelt compilation of five modern short love stories, each lasting 10–15 minutes, that explores the beauty, complexities, and imperfections of relationships in contemporary times.
Life without the internet—unthinkable, isn’t it?
In The Connection, a young couple faces the traumatic loss of their (internet) connection for 10 minutes. But what unfolds in those 10 minutes surprises them both: a deeper, more intimate connection with each other than they ever thought possible.
Tinder is a lifeline for romance in bustling cities like Mumbai. But what happens when a boy from Haryana, freshly moved to Mumbai, swipes right on a Mumbai girl?
The Tinder Date is a humorous and touching tale of cultural clashes, awkward moments, and unexpected connections. Was swiping right really the right choice?
We’ve all heard the same bedtime story clichés: a prince, a princess, and a happily-ever-after on a white horse. But in The Wedding Story, the storyteller is interrupted—by the very characters in his tale.
As the prince and princess confront him with their own reality, the storyteller finds himself hilariously out of his depth, all while entertaining an audience of children.
A big house in California, two cars, two kids, and a comfortable lifestyle—that’s the dream, isn’t it?
The American Dream is a poignant monologue of a boy who chased this vision since fourth grade. But dreams don’t always come true. And when they don’t, does it really matter? Life goes on, after all.
What if you could go back in time, even for a few seconds? Would you make the same choices?
In Spur, Hasan makes a decision that leaves his girlfriend Tara furious. As he wonders what he’d change if he could go back, time grants him the chance. The question remains: would he make the same choice, or choose differently?
